About Theresa

Theresa Bradbury is a Pennsylvania psychologist with more than 26 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people facing trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress. She also supports those coping with grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and money and financial issues that affect daily life.

She spent over a decade working on child and adolescent psychiatric units. In that role she helped young people manage emotional and behavioral dysregulation and learning difficulties. She later worked as a school psychologist in public schools, developing and monitoring individualized education plans and 504 plans.

Theresa has assessed students with a wide range of diagnoses including attention differences, autism spectrum conditions, mood disorders, eating concerns, and obsessive behaviors. That background gives her familiarity with both medical and educational systems and the steps families may need to support a child at school.

In private practice she has focused further study on PTSD, anger management, depression, and ADHD in children and adults. She uses straightforward approaches to help people make changes and manage difficult feelings in day-to-day life.

Theresa speaks English and works in Pennsylvania as a licensed psychologist. If financial strain or life changes are adding to stress, she offers support aimed at helping people find clearer thinking and steadier routines.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on what matters to the person. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. This approach is often used for mood disorders, anxiety, and managing symptoms of ADHD.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa will discuss which methods make sense for your goals and try different strategies if needed. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what you need most at the time.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find that connecting with a licensed professional online makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, keeps follow-up consistent, and allows shorter check-ins when time is limited. Online work can also let someone continue therapy through life changes and financial strain without long travel, while keeping the focus on practical skills and steady routines.
